Chapter 019: Private Meetings with People
Sometimes whether things between men and women can succeed depends on what the man says.
When Su Wuming said those words, Wen Wan'er suddenly felt a warmth flowing through her heart, and then agreed to Su Wuming's request without hesitation.
Seeing that Wen Wan'er agreed to marry him after the murder case was solved, Su Wuming's heart was a little calmer, and after settling down, he left the Wen Mansion with Tang Xiong.
At this time, it was before noon, the sun of mid-spring was warm and warm, Tang Xiong walked on the road, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Su on being able to marry Miss Wen soon, if you tell Aunt Su the news, she will definitely be very happy." ”
Su Wuming thought that her mother would be very happy when she knew the news, but at this time he didn't have time to tell her, because he had something to do, and after telling Tang Xiong to go back and tell his mother about it, Su Wuming immediately separated from Tang Xiong and flashed into the crowd.
The wind blew and slowly became hot, the willow branches on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, Su Wuming quietly came to the vicinity of the Wen family's shop, and now he has clues about the maid Qingmei and Shang Que, and now what he has to do is to know something about this Tong Yu.
Tong Yu looks very handsome, and the way he works also has the meaning of a shopkeeper, Su Wuming observed outside that after noon, after seeing Tong Yu in the store, he strode out of the store, Su Wuming looked around and followed closely.
Originally, Su Wuming thought that Tong Yu was looking for a place to eat, but soon, he found that this was not the case, Tong Yu turned a few corners on the street, and finally flashed into an alley, which was very secluded and rarely walked, Su Wuming was very puzzled when he saw Tong Yu enter such a place, but he couldn't rush in, so he had to wait in the dark.
About half an hour later, Tong Yu walked out of it slowly, and when he came out, he buttoned his clothes while walking, Su Wuming saw him like this, and immediately understood what he was doing inside, it turned out that Tong Yu was hiding in the golden house here!
After Tong Yu left, Su Wuming wanted to leave with him, after all, he was not interested in such a thing as Tong Yu Jinwu Zangjiao, but after thinking about it again, Su Wuming still decided to stay and see who the woman who was dating Tong Yu was.
After waiting for half a pillar of incense, a woman walked out of it slowly, and when Su Wuming saw the woman, he was speechless in surprise, because that woman turned out to be the maid Qingmei of the Wen Mansion.
Su Wuming watched Qingmei walk out of the alley, flashed into the street and disappeared from the crowd, and when Qingmei disappeared, Su Wuming slowly stood up from the shadows, but his expression was surprised, and soon, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he left the alley with a light smile.
After leaving the alley, Su Wuming did not follow Tong Yu anymore, let alone go to Qingmei, but went home directly.
When he entered the house, Su's mother suddenly greeted him: "Son, Tang Xiong said that you want to marry Miss Wen, is it true?" ”
Su Wuming nodded again and again: "That's true, my mother can prepare for the past two days." ”
Su's mother was very happy: "Okay, my mother is ready, my son is finally married, this is a great joy, I not only have to prepare, I also want the neighbors to know that my daughter is going to marry the eldest lady of Wenfu." Su Mu said, and went to Tang Xiong's mother to discuss marriage.
At this time, Su Wuming came to Tang Xiong and said to him: "That Xia Jie is a person who is used to gambling, you will secretly follow him from now on, and come back to tell me if there is any situation." ”
Tang Xiong nodded, and then ran out directly without asking for a reason, because for him, what Su Wuming asked him to do was right, and he didn't need any reason at all.
Not long after Tang Xiong left, Su Wuming had just finished lunch, and a government official came to invite Su Wuming, saying that their Nangong Gongzi invited everyone to go to the mansion to have a look.
Su Wuming saw the corner of the official's mouth smiling, thinking that Nangong Yin had found some clues, so he invited everyone to go and listen to him show off.
Originally, Su Wuming didn't want to go, but he couldn't bear the invitation of the officer, so he had to go with him.
And when Su Wuming came to the mansion, he found that Nangong Yin not only invited him, but also invited Wen Wan'er Qingmei, Shang Que, etc., Su Wuming saw Nangong Yan put on such a big show, he smiled secretly in his heart, and after entering the lobby, he didn't say anything, and sat down directly next to Wen Wan'er.
Not long after, Nangong Yin went up to the lobby, patted the shocking wood, and ordered someone to bring Zhu Jin.
At this time, Zhu Jin was already covered in bruises, and after the official brought him, he could hardly kneel, he could only lie on the ground, but Nangong Yin didn't care at all, he glanced at Zhu Jin who was lying on the ground, and shouted: "Say what you said before in front of everyone!" ”
Zhu Jin didn't beg for mercy, nodded, and then said: "I have always liked Rong Rong, but then I was robbed by Wen Chen, and Wen Chen also made my business unshapely, I hated Wen Chen to death, and later learned that he was bedridden, I was very happy, I hated him to die early, but he was bedridden for three years and never died, which made me a little unable to wait, and then I found an opportunity to sneak into Wen's mansion, and poisoned him to death in the water that Wen Chen drank." ”
After Zhu Jin finished speaking, Wen Wan'er's tears flowed down at once, she looked at Zhu Jin lying on the ground, and asked in a choked voice, "You...... How can you kill my father and why ......"
Wen Wan'er's words were a little unreasonable, and there was no logic, I thought it was caused by excessive sadness, and before she finished speaking, she staggered into Su Wuming's arms, Su Wuming saw Wen Wan'er so sad, her heart couldn't help but sink, if she knew what the truth was, she didn't know if she could bear it.
Nangong Yin saw Wen Wan'er fall into Su Wuming's arms, and he was very angry, but in this public court, he was not good at attacking, so he had to take Zhu Jin lying on the ground to vent his anger, so he commanded sharply: "Come on, pull this Zhu Jin out for me and beat me for thirty, and at noon tomorrow, drag it out and behead it." ”
Nangong Yin ordered like this, and Zhu Jin didn't beg for mercy, he only lay on the ground and cried: "I have confessed to killing someone, why don't you kill me immediately, why don't you let me see Rong Rong as soon as possible!" ”
His words did not make Nangong Yin change his intentions, and the official was about to leave with him, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly stood up and stopped: "Brother Nangong, since Zhu Jin has already confessed to murdering, why should you punish him again, I think it's okay to put him in prison." ”
Although Wen Wan'er hated Zhu Jin at this time, it could be seen that he was so miserable, but in the end she was still soft-hearted, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Nangong Yin, and said, "Brother Nangong, don't beat him again!" ”
Su Wuming's words didn't work, but Wen Wan'er's words were a hundred sentences.
After Wen Wan'er finished speaking, Nangong Yin didn't even hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Put Zhu Jin in prison and behead him at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon!" ”
After the official pulled Zhu Jin down, Nangong Yin came to Su Wuming and said with a light smile: "Su Luodi, how is it, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Su Wuming shrugged: "Brother Nangong is really powerful, since this is the case, then the little brother will announce a news in front of everyone, I have already said to Wan'er, after the murder is solved, we will immediately get married, and now Brother Nangong has helped us solve the murder case, and at the wedding between me and Wan'er, Brother Nangong must come to cheer, let us toast you!" ”
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the lobby, Nangong was stupid there, looking at Wen Wan'er with straight eyes, he couldn't believe that this was true, and Nangong Yan suddenly covered his face and ran out.
At this time, Shang Que came to Wen Wan'er, and asked without knowing whether he was happy or worried: "Miss, is what Su Gongzi said true?" ”
Wen Wan'er nodded: "Uncle, this matter is true, after my uncle goes back, you can start to prepare." ”
After leaving the lobby of the mansion, Wen Wan'er seemed to suddenly think of something, she looked at Su Wuming and asked, "Just now you announced that the two of us were going to get married, why did Sister Nangong suddenly run out, doesn't she want me to be happy when I get married?" ”
Su Wuming couldn't answer this question according to his understanding, so he only comforted: "Maybe she is suddenly a little unaccustomed, and it will be fine in the future!" ”
"Really?" Wen Wan'er is not stupid, and she soon discovers that this is not really the case.
That afternoon, Su's mother found a matchmaker to give a dowry and set a date for marriage, but when Su's mother and Tang's mother were busy, Su Wuming frowned and waited for Tang Xiong.
After dusk, Tang Xiong finally came back, he saw Su Wuming, and said, "Brother Su, that Xia Jie went to gamble, lost all his money, and was beaten, I rescued him." ”
"Where are you now?" Su Wuming immediately asked after listening to Tang Xiong's words.
"He didn't dare to go home, and his leg was discounted, so I just found a place for him to live first, Brother Su, you asked me to follow him, is it useful?"
Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Of course it's useful, whether you can solve the case and find out the murderer, it's all up to him, take me to see him!" ”
Su Wuming said, and asked Tang Xiong to lead the way in front, but Tang Xiong pointed to the big red lantern in Su Mansion, as well as the red cloth and those busy people, and said, "Brother Su, you are about to get married, and it is a little inappropriate not to help find Xia Jie's gambler here, right?" ”
"There's nothing inappropriate, I can't find the real murderer, this kiss is not easy to make, let's go!"
After the end of the spring dusk, the sky was not very dark, there were still people walking on the streets, the wind was blowing warm, everything seemed peaceful, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong walked a few streets, and finally entered a very shabby place, and in that place, Xia Jie was lying on the ground screaming in pain, and kept insulting those who beat him.
However, when he saw Su Wuming suddenly appear, his eyes immediately widened.
